Too many people are uncomfortable in their homes, shivering all winter long and counting the days until spring. Some are even afraid to air seal and insulate for fear that their homes will no longer “be able to breathe.”
We can’t tell you how many clients are relieved when we disabuse them of this myth (not to mention that the air in drafty homes sometimes isn’t actually all that fresh). The best practice, which we employ on every project, is to build as tight as we can for the sake of efficiency and comfort, and to implement a carefully planned ventilation strategy for the sake of healthy indoor air.
